he American Medallic Sculpture Association will celebrate the

new millennium with a show of reliefs and medals entitled “AMSA
2000.” The show, an international juried competition and exhibition,
opens at the QCC Art Gallery at Queensborough Community College
of the City University of New York. From Queens, the medals portion
of the show travels first to Iola, Wisconsin, to be included in the
Fortieth Anniversary Convention of the Numismatics of Wisconsin.
From Iola, the show will continue on to the Villa Terrace Decorative

Arts Museum in Milwaukee.

Now in its seventeenth year, AMSA once again takes the lead in
promoting the art of the medal. The Association represents a diverse
and gifted membership whose work exemplifies the notion of present-
ing an art medium, in hand, that will impact the 21st century and
beyond. It is our mission to cultivate an appreciation of medallic art
throughout the international community, by sponsoring lectures,
demonstrations, and symposiums open to the general public. Our
student membership stands as a vital force in the development of
AMSA, providing spirit and vitality. Our distinguished jurors — Philip
Listengart, Mashiko, and Faustino Quintanilla — have chosen what we

believe to be the ultimate in the field of medallic art and we are

extremely grateful for their hard work and expertise in jurying such a

diverse and unique show.

The AMSA Board of Directors offer their thanks to exhibition Chair
Jackie Lorieo, who, assisted by Yefkin Megherian, Ann Pollack and
Peggy Christie, has helped make this project evolve into reality. We also
want to express our appreciation to George Cuhaj and Virginia Janssen

for their efforts in setting up the second and third venues.

Finally, on behalf of the membership of AMSA I offer my thanks to
Interim President Howard Lapidus and the Board of Directors of the
Queensborough Community College Fund, Inc. for giving us the
opportunity to hold this exhibit. Without their support, generosity and

cooperation, this reality would have remained only a dream.

—ANNETTE NEEDLE, PRESIDENT, AMSA
